When you're in an abusive relationship, you may finally realize that you have to get out and begin the process for a divorce. It might take time for you to do this as you plan how to exit the situation and seek support through protective or peace orders.
Officers don't need evidence to stop a suspected drunk driver
It is common knowledge that police officers can't just stop you without a reason. However, many people don't realize just how low the standard is for the police to initiate a traffic stop. The officer only needs to have reasonable suspicion that something illegal is going on in the vehicle.
Are there advantages to seeking a protective order?
A protective order is a type of civil order. It is put into place to tell someone who has abused another person or threatened to do so to stay away from the victim or any member of the victim's household. The protective order prohibits the alleged abuser from contacting the victim or anyone in the victim's household and prevents them from destroying any property belonging to the victim. Additionally, the accused may not enter the victim's home.
An optimistic outlook can be beneficial in divorce
The divorce journey will undoubtedly invite a wide range of emotions. One part of you will likely be mourning for the happy marriage that you once had, but another part of you may be eager to move toward a new, positive life full of freedom and fresh starts.
Work with your ex to address sibling rivalries
The changes that come with a divorce can make children act in manners they wouldn't usually behave. One thing that can come at this time is sibling rivalry. Even kids who haven't ever gone through this might suddenly start to have these battles when their parents split up. While it is normal for siblings to vie for attention, the uptick in this situation might need to be addressed.
Protect yourself if you're accused of drug crimes
Drug charges can add up quickly. One minute, you may believe that you're facing charges for possession, and the next, you're being told you're accused of trafficking, distributing or even giving away drugs to minors.
